    The back of the building patio area with tables and umbrellas
    Rob B.

    I've been to hundreds of breweries and I rarely go to one that I dislike, but this place happens to be one of them. I thought going in what a cute place in a great area and since I never got the chance to try 412 I was excited to try this place, but that soon changed as soon as we walked in. I understand it's a dog friendly place and I love animals hence why I am a vegan 75% of the time (we had just left VegFest before coming here) and vegetarian 22% with the other 2% for some sushi and rare foods I've never tried. So when I walk into a business and someone has a dog like on this day I expect it to be on a close leash and not running up on me with a long leash causing me to almost trip and and fall and licking my girlfriend legs repeatedly while she is ordering drinks. I mean come on! Then to see it pee on the floor was a one and done deal for us. There was literally three people here on the day we went yet the bartender took a good 5 minutes to acknowledge new patrons and another 15 to pour a beer and make a cocktail. Why? Too busy chatting with the girl with the dog, that's why. I've been to almost every brewery in the city and its outskirts and this is the rare one that didn't live up to any expectations I had of it going in. The beer was pretty good and the cocktail my girlfriend had was too, but that really doesn't matter to be honest if the service and environment isn't copacetic. Service is the key to a great business and this places lacks it and as for being an animal friendly place that's a great thing to allow them to come in but I'd make sure people don't let them run all over the place and pee on the floor especially when food is being served. Good luck though regardless of the obvious facts stated.

    Tuesday Trivia

    Check out their Tuesday night trivia for a fun night! I was lucky enough to form a team with a very nice woman at the bar and while we came in near the bottom, it made for a fun night. Leigh created fun trivia questions and had a great song list between questions. The bartender was very nice and helpful. I really liked the Well Met English Pale Ale draft. It was really drinkable and I would have quaffed several more if I didn't have to get up early the next day. They don't have food but you can get some killer Thai food from nearby Nicky's Thai to enjoy with some refreshing beers.

    The second iteration of the brewery that was formerly 412 is now Late Addition, and the team is doing a fantastic job. They are a group of experienced homebrewers turned professional and brewing up a large variety of styles and tastes. The taproom has been updated a bit as well to feel more cozy and welcoming. As a local neighbor I'm loving the new vibe and every drink I've tried so far. Most recently I had the German pils which was delicious and light. The mug it was served in completed the experience. I look forward to more people discovering what's new here and seeing the growth. They have a good thing going.

    Such a great, new ("late") addition to the North Side!!! Im not a beer drinker but they made the space so welcoming and cozy (for humans and dogs alike). Everyone is super friendly and adds to the great vibes here. They have Stateside Vodka Seltzers and and a mixed cocktail for those who don't drink beer, not a ton of options but I appreciate the fact they had some. I also appreciate they're one of the few breweries in Pittsburgh that are open until 10pm (except Sunday), 7 days a week. No food here, but they'll often have food trucks on certain days (check their site). You can also grab something from Albertas, or Nicky's Thai kitchen across the street. Definitely recommend!

    A new brewery has recently taken over the location previously occupied by 412 Brewery on the north side. This new establishment, Late Addition, opened in 2024 and has brought a fresh perspective to brewing while continuing the tradition of crafting beer in McKees Rocks. They offer a variety of unique beers, including the Kolsch Style Ale, "Elements of Eloquence," at 5.3% ABV, which was rarely available at 412 Brewery. I also enjoyed their "Consider Yourself a Summer Ale" at 5.1% ABV. The conversation with the bartender was great, and the beer was outstanding. I highly recommend stopping by. Cheers!

    It's been ages since I was here and this was Jenni's first time. This is a uniquely Pittsburgh…read moreplace and I thought she'd enjoy it - and she did! For some reason, the host wanted to put us up against the wall which would have one of us staring at the wall and the other, staring across the nave so I asked to sit in one of the many empty seats so we could both take in the long views from the nave. Our server, Alissa, was very friendly. The potato cakes were tasty but certainly not worth $13. Our meals were delicious but I'm not sure either of us saw the braised chicken; if you see it, send me a message. It was there but again, our meals just seemed very expensive overall at $75 for Mac and cheese with chicken, two potato pancakes, and a prickley-pear lemonade (no refills). Nonetheless, we enjoyed our meals and are subtracting just one star because of the weird seating choice by the host and the overall cost.

    We enjoy the theme of this Brewery. It is such a large space. They have several different beers and…read moreit's just a cool experience. How many places can you say where you're drinking beer inside the church. They do have a restaurant here and when we stop by on a Monday night, they were we're pretty steady. There is street parking around this location as well. I had the strawberry rhubarb summer ale. It was very light, but still had great room. An easy summer drinker. My husband had the pious monk dunkel and enjoyed it - come to find out - he had it before the last time we were here!

    I loveeeee coming to Cinderlands! The food here is always so amazing and their drinks never miss…read more My preferred method of travel here is by bike but there is a garage nearby that's not bad or you can usually find street parking. Not pictured but you NEED to get a Cindy's Tea when you come here. They sell these in cans as well I always try and grab a pack if we don't bike here! Their crunch wrap is my favorite thing on their menu. If I'm not getting it as my meal I'm forcing it as a table shareable it is that good. Usually I just get their fries with it which is always yummy but this time I tried their mac and it was so delicious! The Chicken Caesar wrap was so good normally I think places never put enough dressing in them but this was perfectly dressed! We tried their Heirloom Tomato & Watermelon Salad and added chicken to it. Idk where I've been but watermelon on a salad?! AMAZING!!! I wouldn't take off or add anything else to this(except chicken clearly lol) it was so refreshing and light and perfect!

The guy bartender was a good service employee, but maybe due to the woman's friendliness he seemed underwhelming (no offense to him, she was just that nice). Beer was pretty solid. Food was pretty solid too. We would easily come back to the place with all the space, games, and things available for any age.

My girl friends and I came after four years of me wanting to come here. I love Gravel Grinder and live close to an OTB so heard of Dancing Gnome from that. Finally made our way there and well, make sure you do not bring young kids. My friend had an 18 month old with us and as she was BUYING a beer from them, the guy who worked there asked if she "could keep the screaming to a minimum." An eighteen month old!!! And Mother's Day is tomorrow, nice. He said that they had to draw a line somewhere and he wasn't kidding. The 18 month old was not running around screaming crying all day. We were outside having the kids play and when my friend was buying a beer he got a bit fussy and was told to keep it to a minimum. Needless to say, we will NOT be coming back. If you have small children, I would not suggest this place. Super disappointing. I've always hyped their beer and place up and now I can't support it. We ended up going to Grist House and it was a WAY better vibe and WAY busier...I wonder why. I should have known when their sign said no dogs allowed.

    YES. Yes, yes, yes. This is the kind of place I want to be taken to when visiting another town…read more Friends who live outside Pittsburgh brought me and we spent several hours at this indoor-outdoor craft brewery. I tend towards lighter beers, and they had several great options for me (don't worry, there are plenty of darker beers and higher-alcohol-percentage brews; I just didn't order them). There are three or four bars, along with a stage and places for food trucks. The bars are all linked, so you can open a tab at one and it'll be available at the others as well. Super friendly service. I was there on a Saturday afternoon and the place was well-staffed with very cool employees. The atmosphere is nice, too, and I appreciated the poster on one wall explaining the meaning of "Grist House". You can bring dogs too! Some very nice dogs were present on this particular Saturday. Next time I'm coming through this way, I will definitely be stopping by again. * Note: it's a brewery, of course, but they do offer some wines and their own cocktail concoctions.
